Hey guys good to see you again, before the code ever breaks just wanna say even though we’ve never met. I’m glad we share this have a good life y’all 0:24
Doge Guy grow up mate, there’s 132k comments and I read about 3 but if you think I’m sad enough to scroll through and copy another comment then fine but I can assure you you’re wrong. Jealousy at its finest.
I'd imagine the views presented by the RUclips API are what are also used to show end users. All of the view fudging and aggregation will happen in the background before it's presented anywhere.
I wrote some code for a company that no longer exists "Bankers Trust". Many years later I came across a small pocket of people I used to work with at BT and found that the remnants have been bought sold traded for around 13 years. At that moment I got introduced as the "Guy who wrote the zzz system". I was mostly shocked that they still had it running. It was written in vb4 using DCOM and MTS in the lat 90's. AFAIK it's still going.
"The title of this video won't be exactly right" I'm convinced RUclips just operates on pure spite, because it's been exactly right for over a year now
It baffles me how seemingly no one seems to understand what Scott meant by saying that. The title is simply identical to the youtube's own viewcount, which doesn't keep track of views in real time, only every minute or so. Which means it isn't accurate, and therefore neither is the title.
"Just because something is going to break in the end, doesn't mean that it can't have an effect that lasts into the future." "The world can be better because of what you built in the past" those are some very quotable phrases for a random RUclips video that just popped up, and I'm glad it did. Thank you for that.
I see 56,662,598 in title. 56,662,956 in description That is scarily accurate, especially since I have seen this video 17 times and it was right on the money the other 16. That program is really good.
I'm getting rather a lot of emails telling me that it's working (by my standards, miraculously well)! Which is great, thank you! -- but for the sake of my inbox: the code's also keeping logs for me, don't worry about it :)
It seems to me that his quote refers to the actual numbers. There is a common delay on the video so counter is about right but can not be always accurate.
Did anyone else come into the comments looking for people who commented “whys this in my recommended” because it feels like this video was uploaded like 8 years ago, but it’s not
